Lesson Plan

Peaceful Problem Solvers Lesson Plan

Students will learn and apply three conflict-resolution strategies—I-statements, active listening, and collaborative solution brainstorming—to resolve peer disagreements positively.

Equipping 3rd graders with social-emotional tools builds empathy, reduces classroom conflicts, and strengthens peer relationships for a supportive learning environment.
